Sting flies Concorde, to be Englishman in New York (2001/11/12)

British singer Sting said he had no worries flying on the Concorde plane for the first time after being grounded since its deadly 2000 crash.

British pop star Sting checked in for the first commercial Concorde flight from London since a deadly July 2000 crash of the supersonic jetliner, aiming to become, in the words of one of his countless hits, an Englishman in New York.

"It's less dangerous than a car on the M6," he told the reporter as he prepared to board. "I feel completely safe. Why wouldn't I be?" he replied, when asked about the Concorde crash last year and the September 11 attacks, when four planes were hijacked.

"People are getting their confidence back slowly, and I think that events like this will help people," he said.

Sting said he was delighted to be back on Concorde, having been a regular customer for 20 years. "Concorde is a symbol of British Airways, of air travel and normal life," he said.

He said he particularly wanted to fly to New York as his wife, the actress Trudi Styler, was giving a speech in the city and did not realize that he was coming over. "Flying at twice the speed of sound gives you a buzz."

An Air France Concorde took off from Paris for New York shortly before the British Airways jetliner left London as both companies resumed Concorde passenger services.

盡管2000年法航協(xié)和飛機(jī)出現(xiàn)了重大事故,但是英國(guó)著名歌星斯汀表示他毫不懷疑協(xié)和飛機(jī)的安全性。

協(xié)和客機(jī)是目前世界上唯一的民用超音速豪華客機(jī),但去年7月法航一架協(xié)和飛機(jī)失事,協(xié)和飛機(jī)因此停飛。11月7日的飛行是協(xié)和飛機(jī)恢復(fù)客運(yùn)以來(lái)的首次飛行。斯汀登上了這架從倫敦飛往紐約的飛機(jī),正如他的一首歌的歌詞,斯汀這次要體驗(yàn)一下 "英國(guó)人在紐約"(an Englishman in New York)的感覺(jué)。

他對(duì)記者說(shuō):"乘坐協(xié)和飛機(jī)就像在M6大道上開(kāi)車一樣,沒(méi)什么危險(xiǎn)的。"當(dāng)有人問(wèn)他自去年協(xié)和飛機(jī)失事和9·11恐怖事件中4架飛機(jī)被劫持后為什么還敢乘坐飛機(jī)時(shí),斯汀回答說(shuō):"我認(rèn)為很安全。為什么不坐呢?"

他說(shuō):"人們對(duì)航空客運(yùn)的信心正在逐步恢復(fù),所以我認(rèn)為這樣的活動(dòng)可以幫助人們更快的恢復(fù)信心。"

斯汀表示他將非常樂(lè)意乘坐協(xié)和飛機(jī)返回倫敦,因?yàn)槌俗鴧f(xié)和飛機(jī)是他20年來(lái)養(yǎng)成的習(xí)慣。他說(shuō):"協(xié)和飛機(jī)不僅是英國(guó)航空公司的象征,還是航空旅行和正常生活的象征。"

斯汀說(shuō)他之所以要飛往紐約,是因?yàn)樗钠拮又輪T特魯?shù)?絲泰爾即將要在紐約發(fā)表演說(shuō),而且她并不知道自己的丈夫會(huì)飛過(guò)去給她一個(gè)驚喜。斯汀說(shuō):"協(xié)和飛機(jī)的速度是聲速的兩倍,坐在上面可以感到耳邊嗡嗡做響。"

英國(guó)航空公司和法國(guó)協(xié)和航空公司都已經(jīng)恢復(fù)客運(yùn)飛行。英國(guó)航空公司的協(xié)和飛機(jī)從倫敦起飛后不久,法國(guó)的一架協(xié)和飛機(jī)也從巴黎起飛飛往紐約。
